Moyamensing means Pigeon Droppings

Tonight I’m giving a short presentation about Passenger Pigeons and their demise at Nerd Nite Philadelphia. It’s a great lineup, so if you’re not into dead pigeons, but like other food or dogs, there will be something for you! Plus beer, wine, and bratwurst.

Get all the info at the event FACEBOOK PAGE. I go on first, so don’t be late, friends!

Amiiiieeeee! Amieeeeeeee!
